[alfa] Milano ABS fluid change

[webb.p@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Alfisti,

I'm going to be changing the fluid on the Verde (with ABS) for the time trials 
this weekend.  I have a couple of procedure type questions for you all.

I'm changing from Castrol LMA to Motul RBF600.  Both DOT4 spec, and according 
to the documentation, compatible.  I'm having to do this by myself so planned 
on the emptying the reservior first and filling with the new fluid, using the 
tube in the jar of fluid method for the fronts and using the ABS pump for the 
rears.

So my questions are:

If I fill the reservior with the new fluid and using this bleeding method, how 
much mixing will I get?  I'd prefer to get a little as possible.

Is it worthwhile to totally evacuate the system and start with the new fluid in 
an empty system.  And how hard is it to get all the air out if I start with a 
totally evacuated system.   Does the ABS play any part in this decision?  IOW, 
is it harder or easier to get all of the air out of an ABS Milano?

I'm certainly open to any better ideas or procedures.

TIA for any advice or experience.

-Peter
